This is a non-sequitur. It doesn't follow from the premise that free will is not possible. It's true that all our actions and their consequences are God's creation, but this doesn't mean they contradict the free will he endowed us with. God creates a sequence of actions which are exactly those an individual will undertake with his own free will. There is nothing logically contradictory about this operation, and it's trivial for an all-powerful being to do it.
